Chapter 407 - Lets talk (1/2)
After hearing the tragic news about the deaths of their families, Kei was being comforted by Emily, Kyle, and Sarah. Evangeline, on the other hand, left and headed to the house where her parents lived in. While walking to the house Evangeline saw that the city had changed greatly as well as the people. While she was walking towards her parents' home she saw people using their newfound abilities. The kids were even playing in a way that was impossible to imagine in the past.
The world right now was like the fantasy animes Emily likes. There were even some people flying above her head, others were teleporting here and there. It was a good thing no one was stealing or doing evil acts. Actually, it was weird even though the world has become a place where survival of the fittest was the law, no one in the city was as savage as the people Evangeline and the others saw on their journey home.
Evangeline was slightly curious about why this was happening, but because she wasn't feeling well she was in no mood to ask around. A few more minutes of walking Evangeline finally arrived at her parents' home.
It was a three-story tall building, that used to have a lot of servants in it. It used to have a bustling feeling to it, as the maids and butlers inside the house moved around, but now it was more like a haunted house.
It was obvious that after the attack of the monsters no one bothered to fix it. Evangeline walked closer and saw a bunch of flowers outside the house. There was even a tombstone that was most probably placed by Michel and the others.
On the tombstone were the words. ”May the souls of the departed safely reach Valhalla.” Evangeline bit her lip in frustration as she entered the house. Upon entering, Evangeline saw that the walls were partially destroyed and the furniture was broken into pieces.
Seeing the inside of the house Evangeline could imagine what happened. By looking at the wreckage Evangeline could somehow piece together each detail of how everyone died. The monsters dragged them all over the place, while some of them tried to fight back they were no match for the creatures. There was one spot that had blood stains all over, it was in this spot that those beasts ate everyone in the house.
Evangeline's body started to emit icy frost as she could no longer control her emotions. She knelt on the floor and started crying.
'I should've been there for you! If I was there you would be alive right now! This is all because of my obsession with Alex. If I stayed away from the mercenary life, and stayed with you two, I would've been there... Why... Why did you leave me, mom... Dad...'
As Evangeline was going deeper and deeper into a depressive state, someone spoke.
”Eva, is everything alright?” Teary-eyed Evangeline looked up and saw that Alex was there.
”Do I look alright?! Of course, I'm not alright!” Evangeline started crying even harder as she looked at Alex in pain.
Alex who came without a plan looked at Evangeline confused as to what to do next. He wasn't really prepared for this, he only followed Evangeline because he was worried. Yet now that he was confronted with something like this he didn't know what to say.
